[QUOTE="neilo, post: 7716463, member: 348"] A few more barrens isn’t 20% though. I would expect the Toxo will have caused a bigger issue than anything else, which presumably you’ve covered now? Spending more to get rams up to 1:20 won’t get your ewes in lamb faster. The rams can’t get them in lamb if they don’t cycle, or keep them in lamb if faced with disease. If you’re not already, you’d be better off buying a teaser or two, or spending that ram money on Regulin. I’d not give them longer than 2 cycles either, lambing goes on long enough, particularly if you have outside work to do too. I might expect a few more to spread into the second cycle if tupping for late January, but there shouldn’t be 20% empty. [/QUOTE]
